Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Frozen Puff Pastry (thawed)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 8 ounces Thick-Cut Bacon (cooked until crispy)
- 2 pounds Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 cup Onion (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill (or parsley)

- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
